Everyone has their preferences, I would love to hear why you guys prefer using Android!

Everything about Apple software rubs me the wrong way. It's like it's wired opposite to my brain. I had a mac laptop for years and pretty much hated it.
I've used iPhone sporadically (and developed for them on one project) and you can't change the things I'd want to change. I dislike the home screen grid and they added widgets far too late. It took them multiple years to semi-fix notifications. The lack of a back button still perplexes me, especially when one app launches another.
Unfortunately I'm increasingly feeling that Android is a buggy mess too. Android 12 was a complete disaster and my phone is still messed up from it (some apps still don't get notifications) even though I'm now on 13. Google is focusing on the wrong things IMO but I don't think I'd last 48h on iPhone. I actually preferred Windows Phone to iOS. Don't get me wrong I don't think iPhone is a bad product in any way (except how closed everything is), it works for a lot of people - just not me.

Absolutely agree, the notifications are still a mess and the lack of a back button can be headache.

I do miss the Windows phone, Microsoft really dropped the ball, but it could've been a game changer. Also on Google's direction with Android? Yeah, I think Google as a company has made some cool things, but their track record for creating and abandoning projects has really rubbed me the wrong way, and it is leaving me thinking if I should consider other avenues, but the grass is always greener on the other side, and there is no "better" option, just what you can tolerate the most.
